Benefits of Cardiovascular Training


The Canadian Health Department recommends a standard for cardiovascular activity; 60 minutes of cardiovascular exercise EACH day. American standard is only 30 minutes 3-4 times a week.


Here are some of the main benefits:
  • Weight loss
  • Increased flexibility
  • Improved muscle tone and strength
  • Improved blood circulation
  • Increased cardiac output (amount of blood your heart can pump in one beat)
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Improved posture
  • Denser capillary beds

  • Better sleeping
  • Lowers stress levels
  • Improved stability
